Quote ="ECT"Not one single TAFE has an RL team.'"
going off the AURL eligibility thing i posted earlier.....a TAFE (i know what they are now)does'nt have to have a team.....any RL player enrolled in a TAFE,college or uni is eligible for the AURL team....
so i guess any kid who is on the books at a NRL team and is enrolled at a TAFE doing a part time bricklaying course....he can play for the AURL team |

"Can".
Any person enrolled in tertiary education in the UK can play too. But they don't.
If the AURL team recruited every NRL contracted player that is currently also a uni student the Australian Universities team would be a fully professional outfit. But they don't. You have to play for your uni to play for Australia.

A bunch of UK park players beat a bunch of Australian park players...
ECT is correct, tertiary rugby league in Australia is close to non existent. When I was at uni the only league we played was 7's at the university games, however we ended up linking up with one of the local club sides to give the university club a pathway for players who weren't originally from the region.
However, well done GB!

can't you read?
you only have to be ENROLLED and currently proceeding in a course of study at a university, TAFE, tertiary institution or recognised college
nothing about having to play for your uni team....
and if the AURL are'nt picking their best team possible thats their fault and they deserve to have gotten their backsides handed to them |

Of course I'm correct. But apparently a bunch of poms who know nothing of the game here reckon they know better. It's just ignorance and it's pretty much expected from the usual suspects. |

And you've been shown up for it YET again. You should just give up and stop embarrassing yourself. Roosterbooster did when he tried to suggest the number of TAFEs in NSW has any bearing on the AURL. You should take his lead.

| Great result. On a side note we hosted the BARLA GB team in Perth last month and they were a credit to the British game and played well. They won the 3 club games but lost the rep game against a WA state rep team.

Did I? Really? More of your supposition again ECT.
Thanks to roughyedspud providing us with facts on how you can qualify for the AURL side, as opposed to your usual guesswork and theory that you provided, because you once played RL at uni, added to the "I'm Australian therefore I know more than you" attitude, is a bit embarassing to read that you can qualify from being at TAFE and college as opposed to what you were saying. AGAIN. I merely highlighted to my friends back in the UK the number of TAFEs in NSW and QLD that could provide opportunity for selection.
Australia lost to GB. I guess that may have hurt you mate and you felt the need to make excuses, but really. Maybe you should look at other more sporting australians like hindyscrack for a lesson in humility and see if you can congratulate the winning side, rather than making excuses for why your side lost.
Also you didn't respond about whether Uni players had played for Junior Rep sides or have been coached by NRL, NSWRL or QRL coaches or teams. Here's a little pic showing a player called Brandon Lee who played for Sydney Uni, trialling for Norths in 09, the coach taking the session is someone you probably recognise.

Great result for the GB boys and University RL at the international level. Having been an interested spectator at the 2005 and 2008 Student World Cups in Brisbane it is great to see the boys from the northern hemisphere pick up some silverware. Sets up a great series for when the next meet (???).
Unfortunately I didn't hear about the recent games here in my Brisbane until after the 1st Test was played and I had plans for when the second test was on.
On the representative aspect, Jordan Atkins (ex Gold Coast Titans / Now Parra Eels) played for Australian Universities in 2005.

Well done GB students.
It's fantastic that they are playing under the banner of GB instead of that faux country banner of England.
We might be crap at professional level internationally but at least our students are showing the way.

You're the one trying to suggest that TAFE students play for the Australian Universities, which is complete bull. I could point to the fact that any student in the entire UK "could" play for the GB side, but that would be a stupid thing to say, akin to union people claiming four billion people "could" have watched their WC final. TAFEs have never provided players to AURL teams and to suggets they do or could is a complete lie. If you know anything about the AURL you would know this. But once again you don't know what you're on about. Let's face it, outside the North Sydney Bears you know virtually nothing about Australian RL. |

Once again read what I said rather than jumping to conclusions. Players are elligible from TAFE are there are loads of TAFES. Said nothing more.
Still no response to the question on reps players playing for Uni. Bodyswerve!!! How many of your losing team have played rep footy? |

It was indeed, and a refreshing sideshow interlude from the usual @rse-kickings the professionals of Super League relentlessly embarrass us all with on the international stage.
I support GB in Rugby League along with the rich historical international RL history which that all entails.
I don't support some brand named, populist, chav wear sports gear entity called England.
I'm reliably informed that British Students also beat their Australian counterparts at drinking yards of ale too.
British Students by plenty! |

Bear in mind, 'Colleges' will include sixth forms and any other form of non university 'further education' establishment. there are over a dozen of those with rugby league teams within 10 miles of widnes alone. they are still mostly concentrated in the north.
also bear in mind that the majority of universities do not in fact have rugby league teams. universities are still very rugby union dominated on the whole. |

Around half the universities have an RL side. The link below shows the set up for last season's leagues.
c1593.r93.cf3.rackcdn.com/Rugby_ ... _10-11.pdf
After the Super 8 though i'd say the quality drops off a fair bit. Still a decent standard in the league below and teams dotted about, but at the bottom i'd say it's pretty dire. |

So you post an irrelevent fact because you don't know what you're on about and then keep banging on about whether any of them played junior reps. Who gives a toss and to be frank I wouldn't have a clue. On the whole junior rep players are a bunch of nobodies unless they make the under 20s or NRL. You do realise the junior reps are essentially only Sydney-based players don't you? Actually on available evidence I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't. The GB side regularly has players who are signed to professional RL clubs in the north. For example the 2001 side featured Aled James, Richie Barnett, Jermaine Coleman and about half a dozen other blokes who were playing semi-professionally in England. In the Aussie side there was a couple of Brisbane A graders and that's about it. The side was essentially an amateur one. If players are pro players in Australia they're not going to be playing uni footy in the middle of the season. They'll be playing for their clubs. |

So what Costanza? There isn't a single TAFE RL team in the country and not one TAFE student has ever or will ever play rep uni football. I know this from experience. You don't know anything because you're an ignorant, juvenile hack who will make up any old crap about Australian RL because you have a massive chip on your shoulder. You didn't even know what TAFE was and now you're trying to argue with someone who actually knows about the game here from 10,000 miles away in the cave where you live. |
